EpIitor Gror, of the Somerset Demo-
| erat, in publishing an account of a
shooting accident at Ellerslie, Md.
says: “The ball struck the child in the
left right side.” Little Aleck, as the
editor of the Democrat is commonly
called, is so badly twisted since trying
to ride two political nags at once that
he can’t tell a straight intelligible story
about anything.
——
Our present vaccination law was not
passed at the instance or request of the
rainy, reputable portion of the physi-
cians of this commonwealth. but it was
brought about by a rascally set of doc-
tors who went «into politics and had
themselves elected to the Legislature
for purely selfish reasons, with graft for
their profession as their chief aim.
The law should be promptly repeald at
the next session of the Legislature, and
the only way to have it repealed is to
vote fer candidates pledged to work for
its repeal. A. W, Knepper and J
¥nisley have so pledged themselves,
while their opponents, Harvey Hay and
F. P. Saylor, have not. The duty of
the anti-vaccinatiopist voter is plain.
THERE is an idea prevalent among
country people that the present move-
ment for good roads is mainly further-
ed by automobile owners, who are
scheming to have the farmers pay for
speedways for their machines. For the
mistake involved in this idea the “dern
fool” of the city who runs an automo-
bile out into the country in such a way
as to render travel by other legitimate
methods unsafe is to blame. The
trouble on the highway between horse
and automobile is not because of the
machine, but because of the man who
operates it. It is the manner in which
the machine is handled, and not the
machine, that makes the automobile an
obstacle to ood roads and causes dras-
tic and really unfair legislation against
those who use the machine properly
and considerately.—American Farmer.
SoME of the school teachers who are
enforcing the vaccination of pupils
throughout this state, say they are do-
ing so because they fear they will be
fined or sent to jail if they refuse to
comply with the vaccination law.
They are not in the least danger of be-
ing fined or jailed, old Doc Dixon, the
State Health Commissioner, to the
contrary notwithstanding. The old
bluffer has threatened teachers more
than once who have the good principle
and courage to ignore the outrageous
| law, but the old public nuisance of a
Commissioner knows better than to
carry out his threat. The jails of Penn-
sylvania wouldn’t hold half of the sen-
sible teachers who ignore the obnox-
ious and sinful vaccination law, and
Dixon knows that a wholesale enforce-
ment of his pet grafters’ law would
bring about its speedy repeal and soon
get him out of his fat office. Herod’s
law to put male children to death
wasn’t any more hideous than Penn-
sylvania’s present vaccination law. and
neither of them ever were worthy to be
obeyed. Teacher's who fear being
jailed if they refuse to comply with a
child murder law for the benefit of the
doctors, ought to be in jail. They
would do the human race more good
there than in the school rooms.

Some Wholesome Dont’s.
Don’t snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the in-
ventor of the telephone, first entered
Boston he wore a pair of yellow linen
breeches, in the depth of winter.
Don’t snub a boy because of the ig-
norance of his parents. Shakespeare,
the world’s poet, was the son of a man
who was unable to write his own name.
Don’t snub a boy because his home is
plain and unpretentious. Abraham
Lincoln's early home was a log cabin.
_ Don’t snub a boy because he chooses
a humble trade. The author of “Pil-
grim’s Progress” was a tinker.
Don’t snub a boy because of his
physical disability. Milton was blind. |
Don’t snub a boy because of dullness
in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrat-
ed painter and engraver, was a stupid
boy at his books.
Don’t snub a boy because he stutters.
Demosthenes, the great orator of
Greece, overcame a harsh and stam-
mering voice.
Don’t snub anyone. Not alone be-
cause some day he may far outstrip
you in the race of life, but because it
is neither kind nor right nor Christian.

VACCINATION CONDEMNED.
Read What Some of the World's
Most Scientific Men Have Said
About it.
E. M. Crookshank, M. D. M. R. C. 8,,
Professor of Pathology and Bacterio-
logy in King’s College, London, Eng-
land.—"I maintain there is no scientific
support for vaccination, and the prac-
tice is destined to fall into desuetude.
We have no known test by which we
could possibly distinguish between a
lymph which was harmless, and one
which might be harmful to the extent
of communicating syphilis.”
Chas.'Creighton, M. D., M. A., Author
of Article on Vaccination in Encyclo-
pedia Britanica, IX Edition.—“The
Anti-Vaccinationistg have knocked the
bottom out of a grotesque superstition.”
8. M. Munn, Waterbury, Conn—"If
medical men were made responsible
W. | for ill effects. no physician would ever
vaccinate.”
Dr. A. Vogt, Prof. of Hygiene and
Sanitary Statistics, Berne, Switzerland.
—“After collecting the particulars of
400,000 cases of smallpox, I am com-
pelled to admit that my belief in vac-
cination is absolutely destroyed.”
[Epitor’s Nore]. The people of
Switzerland arose in their might and
crushed out the serpent of “Vaccina-
tion,” and they have less smallpox in
that country now than when they in.
dulged in vaccination.
Alexander M. Ross, A. M.,, M. D,, F.
R. 8.. Physician in Montreal, Canada.
—*T know that 1,100 children under 12
years of age were vaccinated into
smallpox and died from it during the
epidemic of 1885, in Montreal. One
thing is certain, thousands of children
are killed annually by vaccination, or
its after results, and these victims of
medical ignorance and cupidity are the
only persons, it can be asserted with
truth, that vaccination protected from
smallpox.”
[EpiTor’s Note]. When vaccination
kills, as it frequently does, it protects
the victim from smallpox by removing
him from the earth. The doctors
alone are responsible for the great
smallpox scourge in Montreal in 1885.
The wholesale blood-poisoning of the
people was solely responsible for the
wholesale spread of the disease. But
the doctors and the undertakers made
a big harvest of money out of it.
Alexander Wilder, M. D., Editor New
York Medical Tribune, and Professor
Physiology, United States Medical
College, New York.—“A vaccinated
people will always be a sickly people,
short-lived and degenerate. Consump-
tion follows in the footsteps of vaccina-
tion as certainly and unequivocally as
effect follows cause.”
[Fprror’s Norel—Do you think it
possible that the eminent medical men
named in this article know less than
the small-fry country physicians who
here and there bob up and howl them-
selves hoarse for vaccination, for no
other reason than that it puts a few
paltry, crime-stained dollars into their
pockets? Your common sense ought
to teach you better. The followin
quotations, one from John Stuart Mill,
the other from Dryden, are admirably
applicable to the small-fry vaccination
doctors and their dupes:
“He who knows only his own side of
the case, knows little of that.”
“Not only crowds, but. Sanhedrims
may be infected with the public lu-
nacy.”
Vaccination must go, and the only
way to wipe out the gigantic curse and
outrage is to vote for law-makers who
stand pledged to repeal compulsory
vaccination laws. This can’t be done
by voting for men like Harvey 309 for
the Legislature, unless he declares
himself for the repeal of the obnoxious
law which all liberty-loving, manly
Pennsylvanians ought to seek to bring
about. Ask Mr. Hay where he stands
on this question before giving him your
vote. Any candidate who will not de-
clare himself in the public prints as
being in favor of the repeal of the com-
pulsory vaccination law, is not worthy
of your vote, no matter on what ticket
he is running. Candidates Knepper
and Endsley, on the Republican ticket,
have so declared themselves in nearly
all the newspapers of the county.
Harvey Hay and Franklin P. Saylor
have not so declared themselves, and
it is not likely that Mr. Hay will, as he
is a brother-in-law of Dr. A. M. Lichty,
one of the most narrow-minded vac-
cinationists (for revenue only) in the
county. Besides, Harvey is holding a
soft job as registrar of vital statistics
ander old Doc Dixon, State Health
Commissioner, who is a great vaccina-
tion fanatic for the pecuniary benefit
of the medical trust, the meanest, most
oppressive and criminal trust in exist-
ence. Dixon is a public nuisance, and
the minions under him know it, but it
is not to their financial interest to
squeal.
Miller Renominated for State
Senator.
Last Friday night the Republican
conferees of the Somerset-Bedford-Ful-
ton Senatorial district met at Hyndman
to nominate a candidate for State Sen-
ator. The candidates were Norman E.
Berkey, of Somerset, Dr. W. C. Miller,
of Bedford, and Peter Morton, of Ful-
ton. Miller was nominated on the first
ballot, the three conferees of Fulton
county voting with the Bedford con-
ferees for him.
Consequence of a Rash Act.
“Qur wife,” wrote the editor of the
Spiketown Blizzard, “is sick from over-
work. While she was snooping around
our sanctum yesterday morning she
found the office towel, and insisted on
taking it home and washing it. Such a
thing never happened before, and with
the help of the Lord it shall never hap-
pen again !"—Chicago Tribune.
The Church on Emery.
At the Erie conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal chureb, which closed its
annual meeting this week at Meadville,
the following was adopted as an amead-
ment to the report on temperance:
Resolved, That we denounce any party or
man who places brewery,church and schoo¥
in the same category.
In a letter to Editor Likins, of Union-
.town, some weeks ago, Lewis Emery,
Democratic nominee for
wrote:
However, had I been at home I would no
have ,withheld my donation from thas
brewery, no more than 1 would from the
churches, schools and hospitals * * *
I should have been derelict if I had no%
come forward and done my part.
The Erie conference represents cone
of the largest church memberships in .-
Northwestern Pennsylvania, embrae-
ing an influential portion of the popo- --
lation. It will be noticed that the con-
ference was careful to avoid partisen-
ship and refrained from mention of
Mr. Emery, preferring to confine its:
record to an expression upon ihe .
eral proposition in a dignified way ; bas -
the meaning is plain.
In this connection it is proper to di-
rect attention to Mr. Emery’s recent
diversion at Erie and Clarion, where he -
urged women to take an interest im -
politics. In the line of his plan to -
peal to every possible element of :
content with existing conditions, he
has put himself on record in favor of
woman suffrage, and he wants the
women of the state to help him out.
If there are any women who feel dis- -
posed to join in his campaign it is to be
hoped that they will not overlook his
assertion that the brewery is on an
equal plane with the church, the school ~
and the hospital. Outside the home -
the foremost fields of endeavor, to -
which women devote unselfish labors
and for which they make many saeri-
fices, are the churches, schools aud
hospitals. Women are the very life-
blood of the church, and without thems
our hospitals would soon close down.
What do they think of the theory of
Mr. Emery that they should devote the
same high service and the same hercie
energy to the brewery?—Pittsburg "
Gazette Times.
Governor,
Cleanliness and Vaccination.
To the Editor of The North American.
The letter on “Vaccination and Can-
cer,” from Dr. M. R. Leverson, in to-
day’s North American, recalls the as-
sertion made by Humboldt nearly fifty
years ago that “The practice of vacei-
nation is dangerous to the race, by.
causing degeneration.”
1t is remarkable that this grotesque:
and even murderous superstition
should continue to survive despite the
growing intelligence of a progressive
age. As stated in article on “What is
Pure Lymph?’ In the March number
of the Westminster Review, “If the -
general public knew more about vae- -
cination, and the wholesale trafficking .
in disease whick is being carried on for
the avowed purpose of protecting the
public health, they would soon sweep _-
the whole thing away, and place re--
liance on the only true ‘preventi
medicine’—clean living.” ‘
The last considerable outbreak of --
smallpax in Pennsylvania originated in»
close proximity to a vaccine farm,
where it is the practice to inoculate -
heifers hired in the neighborhood.
How delightful it is to drink a cup of -
milk obtained from a cow which has
been duly immunized, and to dine om
variolated veal, after spending an afs--
ternoon in poring over the pages of
“The Jungle.”
At one of the smallpox factories the
virus is scraped off the corpses of °
calves, so that the sensibilities of the-
members of the humane societies may
not be wounded. So many people are
more solicitous respecting cruelty to
animals than cruelty to children.
